GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING!
Read, understand and follow all safety rules and operating instructions in
this manual before using this product. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
• Always keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas
invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks, which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges &
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock. If operating the power tool in damp
locations is unavoidable, a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter must be used to
supply the power to your tool. Use Electrician’s rubber gloves and footwear to
further enhance your personal safety in damp conditions.
2
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool or to pull the plug.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Contact Customer
Service if cord is damaged and do not use the saw. Damaged cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it “ON” or “OFF”. Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• When operating a power tool outside, always use an outdoor extension cord
with a minimum 13 amperes fuse. These cords are rated for outdoor use and
reduce the risk of electric shock. For recommended sizes of extension cords
refer to the following table.
Minimum Gauge for Extension Cord (AWG) Volts Total Length of Cord 120 V 0 to 25 ft 26 to 50 ft 51 to 100 ft 101 to 150 240 V 0 to 50 ft 51 to 100 ft 101 to 200 ft 201 to 300 ft Ampere Rating AWG AWG AWG AWG More than 0 Not more than 6 More than 6 Not more than 10 More than 10 Not more than 13 More than 13 Not more than 16 18 16 16 14 18 16 14 12 16 16 14 12 14 12 Not Recommended The extension cord must have adequate wire size AWG (American Wire Gauge)

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or
long hair can be caught in moving parts. Keep handles dry, clean and free from
oil & grease. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when
working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
• Avoid accidental starting. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch in the “ON” position invites accidents.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before switching the tool “ON”. A wrench
or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal
injury.
• Don’t overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing
and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
• Always use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the work piece
to a stable platform. Holding the material in your hand or against your body is
dangerous and may lead to loss of control. Hold the tool firmly to prevent loss
of control.
• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool
will do the job better and at a safer rate for which it is designed.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it “ON” or “OFF”. Any tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any inspections,
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventative safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
• Store idle tools in a dry and secure place , out of reach of children and other
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam and are easier to
control. Any alteration or modification is a misuse and may result in a dangerous
condition.
4
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, contact Customer Service before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
tools. Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for your tool. Contact Customer
Service to have defective switches replaced. Keep handles dry, clean, and free
from oil and grease.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous
when used on another tool.
• While operating, always keep the cord away from the cutting area.
SERVICE
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
Contact Customer Service for information for repairs.
• When servicing a tool, always use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts
or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock
or injury. Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.
PLEASE NOTE! DO NOT TOUCH ANY MOVING PARTS WHEN THE
MACHINE IS RUNNING.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
DANGER! KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA AND BLADE.
• Always keep one hand on the auxiliary handle and the other on the motor housing. When both hands are holding the saw (machine), they cannot be cut by the
blades. Keep your body positioned to either side of the saw blade, but not in line
with the saw blade. Hold the saw firmly to prevent loss of control. Do not reach
underneath the material being cut. The guard cannot protect you from the blade
below the material. Do not attempt to remove cut material when blade is moving. Always check that lower guard properly closes before each use. Do not operate saw if lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or
tie the lower guard into the open position. If saw is accidentally dropped, lower
guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle and make
sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part. In all angles
and depths of cut check the operation and condition of the lower guard spring.
5
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
If the guard and the spring are not operating properly, they must be serviced
before use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy
deposits, or a buildup of debris. Disconnect the plug from power source. Periodically
remove the blade, clean the upper and lower guards and the hub area with a
degreaser and wipe it dry, or blow it clean with compressed air.
• The lower guard should be retracted manually only for making special cuts such
as “Pocket cuts” and “Compound Cuts”. Always raise lower guard by lower guard
handle lever. As soon as blade enters the material, the lower guard must be
released for all other sawing. The lower guard should operate automatically.
• Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing saw
down on a bench or floor. An unprotected, moving blade will cause the saw to
jump, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade
to stop after switch is released.
• NEVER hold the piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. It is important
to support the material properly to minimize body exposure, blade jamming, or
loss of control.
• Always hold tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool “live”
and shock the operator.
• DO NOT use any blades other than the DUALSAW Blades specially designed for
this tool. Other blades do not match the mounting hardware & will cause loss
of control.
• Never use damaged or incorrect flanges (drivers) or bolts. The flanges (drivers)
& bolts are specially designed for your saw for optimum performance and safety
of operation.
• DO NOT turn the saw on while carrying it. Lower guard may be opened by
contact with your clothing. Accidental contact with the spinning saw blade could
result in serious personal injury.
• Never attempt to operate saw with only one blade. Kickback will occur and
send the saw towards you resulting in serious injury.
HOW TO AVOID KICKBACK
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade, causing
an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the work piece and toward operator.
When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade
stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator.
6
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:
• Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and position your body and
arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Kickback forces can be controlled by
the operator, if proper precautions are taken.
• Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback. Large
panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the
panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel.
• Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades
produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
• Use extra caution when making a “Pocket Cut” into existing walls or other blind
areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
• Depending upon use, the switch may not last the life of the saw. If the switch
should fail in the “OFF” position, the saw may not start. If it should fail while the
saw is running, the saw may not shut off. If either occurs, unplug the saw
immediately and do not use until repaired. Contact Customer Service.
• Guard against kickback if the blade binds or the saw stalls and is rapidly driven
back towards the operator, release switch immediately. Do not force tool. Stay
alert, exercise control.
WARNING!
• DO NOT let familiarity with your saw make you careless. Remember
that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to cause severe injury.
• This saw uses specially designed blades and no other type of blades
should ever be used. Other types of blades will not operate safely in
this saw & could result in serious personal injury.
• If the blades come in contact with the work piece before they reach full
speed, it could cause the saw to kickback toward you resulting in
serious injury.
• Always make sure both blades enter into the material at the same time.
Entering with only one blade will cause unexpected kickback, risking
serious injury. Therefore, in the case of cutting at an angle, do not
approach from the side with only one blade touching, but from the top
with both blades entering simultaneously.
• The side of the blades cannot be used for cutting. Therefore, in
horizontal cuts, make sure saw is not resting on the lower blade.
Wedge the work piece to prevent unexpected kickback.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
• Be sure to read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
• Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual carefully. Learn the applications
and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire or serious injury.
• Always wear safety glasses or eye shields when using this saw. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
• Always protect your lungs. Wear a face mask or dust mask if the operation is
dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
• Always protect your hearing. Wear protection during extended periods of operation. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
• Inspect the tool’s cord periodically and if damaged contact Customer Service.
ALWAYS be aware of the cord location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock or fire.
• Check for damaged parts. Before using the tool, inspect all parts for damage
to determine if it would operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced. Contact Customer Service.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire or serious injury.
CAUTION! If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the
teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the work piece
causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the operator.
WARNING!
Some dust created by using power tools contains chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-base paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products,
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those
dust mask that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

OPERATION
DUALSAW BLADES
• Keep the blades clean, sharp and properly set. Using a dull blade will place a
heavy load on your saw and increases the danger of kickback. Keep extra blades
on hand, so sharp blades are always available.
• Gum and wood pitch hardened on your blade will slow your saw down. Use gum
and pitch remover, hot water or degreaser to remove these accumulations. DO
NOT use gasoline.
CAUTION!
Don’t use the saw when the blade guard is not operating properly. The
guard should be checked for correct operation before each use. If you
drop your saw, check the lower blade guard and bumper for damage at
all depth settings before using.
BLADE GUARD SYSTEM
• The lower blade guard attached to your saw is there for your protection and
safety. It should NEVER be altered for any reason. If it becomes damaged or
begins to return slowly or sluggishly, DO NOT use your saw until the damage has
been repaired or replaced. Contact Customer Service. Leave the guard in its correct operating position when using the saw.
• The guard is operating properly when it moves freely and then readily returns
to the closed position. If, for any reason, your lower blade guard does not close
freely, contact Customer Service for assistance before using it.
OPERATING THE SAW
• Clamp the work piece so it will not move during the cut.
• Push the switch to ON to start the saw. Always let the blades reach full speed
before you begin to cut into the work piece.
• Apply steady and even pressure when making a cut. Forcing the saw causes
rough cuts and could shorten the life of the saw or cause kickback.
• Use the lubricating device (included) when cutting aluminum, copper, stainless
steel and cast iron materials, because they have a tendency to smear and adhere
to the blades.
• Always feed material parallel to the blade. Feeding at an angle can burn the
blade and damage the blade teeth.
• Don’t place the saw on the part of the work piece that will fall off (after the cut).
• To stop the saw, release the switch to the OFF position.
15
OPERATION
CAUTION!
Maintain control of the saw to make sawing safer and easier. Loss of control of the saw could cause an accident resulting in possible serious injury.
STARTING A CUT
• Push button and engage trigger on handle to start the saw. Always let the blades
reach full speed before you begin to cut into the work piece.
• Apply steady and even pressure when making a cut. Forcing the saw causes
rough cuts and could shorten the life of the saw or cause kickback.
• Make sure both blades enter into the material at the same time; otherwise,
unexpected kickback may result, risking serious injury.
HOW TO ADJUST THE FEED SPEED
• Feed speed is extremely important to get proper results from the saw. Feed
speed is determined by the hardness and the thickness of the material you plan
to cut. Feed speed is defined by how quickly you push the saw blades through
the material.
• Feed (for thin materials) the blades down with the teeth protruding only 10-12
mm, then move forward (or backward) for cutting.
• Feeding must be parallel to the blade. Feeding at an angle can burn the blade
and damage the teeth.
CAUTION!
• If the feed speed is too slow, the blades will only press down the material rather than cutting it. The blade edges glide and wear down the
material. This will cause a poor cut and will cause excessive wear on the
blades.
• If the feed speed is fast there is a definite risk that the cut might split.
The splinter will get bigger and bigger and eventually break risking serious personal injury.
• If the feed speed is too high there is a risk that the cut might split and
the splinter opening’s volume will not be sufficient to divert all the
shaving. The result is a poor cut with significant discharge on the lower
side of the material.

MAINTENANCE
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
• Tool service must be performed by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
Contact Customer Service for information on repairs.
• When servicing a tool, always use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts
or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock
or injury. Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.
• Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible
to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by
their use. Use a clean cloth to remove dirt, carbon dust etc.
• It is a known fact that electric tools are subject to accelerated wear and possible
premature failure when they are used to work on fiber glass boats and sports
cars, wallboard, spackling compounds or plaster. The chips and grindings from
these materials are highly abrasive for electrical tool parts, such as bearings,
brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, clean the tool even more intensely
after working these materials.
CLEANING AND STORAGE
• Resin and other materials that easily become attached to the sides of the blade
often cause the blade to overheat. This means that it can buckle or even split.
You must therefore always keep the blade clean. Wash it with a solvent. Never
try to scrape the blade clean with a hard object.
18
MAINTENANCE
• When the blade is not in use, it should be stored in its original sheath, well
cleaned and coated with an antirust agent.
LUBRICATION
• All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of highgrade lubricant for the life of the tool under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is required.
DOUBLE INSULATION
• Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates
the need for the standard 3-wire ground power cord. All exposed metal parts are
isolated from the internal motor components with protecting insulation. Double
insulated power tools do not need to be grounded.
EXTENSION CORDS
• The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. To keep the loss
at a minimum and to prevent overheating, use an extension cord that is heavy
enough to carry the current that the tool will draw.
BLADE MAINTENANCE
• Don’t use any blades other than the DUALSAW™ CS 300 blades specially designed for this tool. Other blades do not match the mounting hardware and will
cause loss of control.
• Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
• Keep the blades clean, sharp and properly set. Using a dull blade will place a
heavy load on your saw and increases the danger of kickback. Keep extra blades
on hand, so sharp blades are always available.
• Gum and wood pitch hardened on your blade will slow your saw down. Use gum
and pitch remover, hot water or degreaser to remove these accumulations. DO
NOT use gasoline.
• Don’t attempt to operate saw with only one blade. Kickback will occur and send
the saw toward you resulting in serious injury.
WARNING!
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of other parts
may create a hazard or cause product damage.
Contact customer service at 1-855-382-5729 for information on how to
obtain replacement parts from an authorized service facility.
